Summary:

In 1998, the University created the Mauna Kea Advisory Committee in an effort to improve the management of the Mauna Kea Science Reserve (MKSR) and the facilities at Hale Pohaku, and to assist with the planning of future development. The Committee met from June 1998 through August 1999 and, with representatives from Group 70 International (consultant to the University), held a series of public meetings at various sites around the Island of Hawaii to gather public input on a variety of matters, such as the management of Mauna Kea's resources and future development of observatories. Representatives from Group 70 also discussed with community members recommendations for a master plan that would serve as the policy framework for the responsible stewardship and use of University-managed lands on Mauna Kea through the year 2020. This manuscript includes testimony that was given at a public meeting that was held in Waimea on 24 May 1999 by various people who expressed concerns with regard to the MKSR Master Plan and the management of Mauna Kea.
